Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Perhaps the greatest body of work by an American rock band" (All Record Guide), these six discs include all of Creedence Clearwater Revival's hit albums and their two live ones, as well as an additional CD with all known pre-CCR recordings by the Golliwogs and Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets. This amazing catalog of classic rock anthems includes "Good Golly Miss Molly," "I Put a Spell on You," "Born on the Bayou," "Proud Mary," "Green River," "Bad Moon Risin'," "Lodi," "Down on the Corner," "Poorboy Shuffle," "Fortunate Son," "Travelin' Band," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," "Up Around the Bend," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Sweet Hitch-Hiker," "Keep on Chooglin'," "The Midnight Special," and the rare single "Call It Pretending"—a Stax Records–type R&B tune.

"Creedence Clearwater Revival was progressive and anachronistic at the same time. An unapologetic throwback to the golden era of rock and roll, the group broke ranks with its peers on the progressive, psychedelic San Francisco scene. Creedence's approach was basic and uncompromising, holding true to the band members' working-class origins. The term 'roots rock' had not yet been invented when Creedence came along, but in a real way they defined it."—Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
